Rhyme Scheme: AABCDB ACEFGF HIJKLJ DMJFCN OCACPA| There was nought in the Valley | A |
| But a Tower of Ivory | A |
| Its base enwreathed with red | B |
| Flowers that at evening | C |
| Caught the sun's crimson | D |
| As to Ocean low he sped | B |
| - | |
| Lucent and lovely | A |
| It stood in the morning | C |
| Under a trackless hill | E |
| With snows eternal | F |
| Muffling its summit | G |
| And silence ineffable | F |
| - | |
| Sighing of solitude | H |
| Winds from the cold heights | I |
| Haunted its yellowing stone | J |
| At noon its shadow | K |
| Stretched athwart cedars | L |
| Whence every bird was flown | J |
| - | |
| Its stair was broken | D |
| Its starlit walls were | M |
| Fretted its flowers shone | J |
| Wide at the portal | F |
| Full blown and fading | C |
| Their last faint fragrance gone | N |
| - | |
| And on high in its lantern | O |
| A shape of the living | C |
| Watched o'er a shoreless sea | A |
| From a Tower rotting | C |
| With age and weakness | P |
| Once lovely as ivory | A |
